Private Chef in Canggu, Bali
Canggu runs on a different clock to the rest of Bali. Surf before breakfast, laptop until four, dinner whenever the light goes. The people staying here — surf families sharing a villa for a month, digital nomads on their third Bali winter, groups of friends splitting a Berawa compound — don't want a reservation. They want food that fits the house: a Saturday dinner that beats anything on Jl. Batu Bolong, a poolside lunch for fifteen, or a chef who quietly handles the whole week's eating. That's our version of the service here. A private chef in Canggu from myCHEF cooks in your kitchen on your schedule — one memorable night, or every day of your stay.
Pricing
From IDR 1,000,000++ per day for one meal
Weekly chef service from IDR 900,000++ per day at the weekly rate (10% off standard). No travel surcharge within the Canggu–Berawa–Batu Bolong corridor.

Local dining guide
Private chef dining in Canggu: what makes this area different
Hiring a private chef in Canggu is different from booking the same team in another part of Badung. Canggu has the fastest-growing villa stock in Bali — especially along Echo Beach, Batu Bolong and Berawa — and most kitchens here are genuinely good to cook in. Guests here typically match this profile: Surf families, digital nomads, health-conscious long-stayers, expats and villa groups who want great food without restaurant queues.
Short-stay villas and Airbnbs in Canggu are the most common booking type — you do not need a permanent cook on staff. Share the listing link so we plan kitchen access, shopping runs and cleanup around your check-in.
Landmarks and villa corridors we regularly serve around Canggu include Batu Bolong, Echo Beach, Berawa, Pererenan border, Tibubeneng & the Tanah Lot road corridor. Share your villa pin on WhatsApp so we plan travel, kitchen load-in and timing for the real property — not a generic Bali pin.
Menus in Canggu follow the same published floors as the rest of the island, with formats that fit how people stay here: private chef, fine dining, catering, bbq & grills, events, mobile cocktail bar. Weekly chef service from IDR 900,000++ per day at the weekly rate (10% off standard). No travel surcharge within the Canggu–Berawa–Batu Bolong corridor.
For larger villa nights, many Canggu hosts stack private chef day rates with catering formats or a mobile cocktail bar so food and drinks run on one timeline. See island service hubs for villa catering, mobile cocktail bar packages, and occasion experiences such as caviar or whiskey & cigar evenings.
If your group splits villas across neighbouring areas, we still cook with one plan — nearby coverage includes Berawa, Pererenan, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Ubud. Book 1–2 days ahead for single dinners. Weekly meal prep packages need 3–5 days lead time. Events need 2–4 weeks.

They want food that fits the house: a Saturday dinner that beats anything on Jl. Batu Bolong, a poolside lunch for fifteen, or a chef who quietly handles the whole week's eating.

What We Cook in Canggu

Weekly Meal Prep: Canggu's Most-Booked Chef Service
Most private-chef companies sell one-off evenings. In Canggu, the booking that changes a stay is the recurring one: a chef who shops Pasar Canggu each morning, learns that your daughter eats nothing green and your training schedule means protein at lunch, and keeps the fridge stocked between visits.
Weekly meal prep starts from IDR 900,000++ per day on a weekly plan — one chef and one assistant, a rotating menu designed around your household, cooked fresh in your villa on the days that suit you, groceries billed at cost with receipts. For stays of a month or longer, the monthly rate starts from IDR 800,000++ per day — see our monthly chef hire and daily villa chef service options. Book 7 days or longer and Chef Rotation is included at no extra charge — request a different specialist chef or cuisine on any day of your stay.
